Nintendo president: more games scheduled for release than what’s been announced, dependent on work situation
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo is quickly running out of games to release on Switch in terms of what’s been announced. After Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition drops this month followed by Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics in early June, there’s not much on the docket with an official release date. That doesn’t mean Nintendo doesn’t have anything in the pipeline, however.
We know that Nintendo has games that are longer out such as Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4. As far as titles releasing sooner than that though, president Shuntaro Furukawa stated during an investor call Q&A this week that the company has “games that are scheduled to release during this period other than what’s been announced.” He was quick to caution that the current work situation, where employees are now at home, has the potential to impact plans.
Furukawa’s full words (as translated by our own Oni Dino):

Nintendo discusses impact of coronavirus on its shipments, game development
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
The coronavirus has affected all kinds of industries and businesses. That includes Nintendo, as the company has struggled to maintain Switch supply and has had to face a work-at-home environment. A status update was provided in its financial results update today.
As for getting product into the marketplace, Nintendo says that “delays in production and shipping are gradually recovering.” There’s more of a concern regarding development since, if the effects of the coronavirus “are prolonged or worsen further, development schedules may be impacted due to the difference in development environments between working from home and in the office.” It’s noted that the situation in Japan “is anticipated to be even more difficult to predict” and there’s an overall warning that “we may not be able to proceed with the release of Nintendo products and the start of services as planned.”
Here’s the full update from Nintendo:
